BRITAIN’S biggest chain of academy schools is “failing too many pupils,” an explosive Ofsted report claimed yesterday.
Inspectors said the Academies Enterprise Trust (AET), which runs 67 schools across England, was providing a mediocre education.
Ofsted said almost 40 per cent of kids attending the group’s primary schools and 47 per cent of those at secondaries are receiving a “less than good” education.
